John Lambies Doos Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 So none of the two of them are worth a feck but given the choice it would have to be Trump I suppose if only he speaks the same language, what else? Scottish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetterlund Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Is there really a contest here? Although neither would be appealing to a generally liberal Scottish society, one has a long record of competence, dragging a nation from the gutter to a significantly higher standard of living and becoming a major player on the world stage, while the other has presided over an utter shitshow domestically and managed to worsen relations with friend and foe alike within a few months of taking office. Let's ask their respective populations who's the better leader. Latest approval ratings - Trump 34%, Putin 83% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latest approval ratings - Trump 34%, Putin 83% In my ramble above I tried to highlight the chaotic method of government of the two countries, the two personalities Trump and Putin are products which would not be out of place in the middle ages, both are immensely egotistic yet they have manoeuvred themselves into positions of power in the world, in my eyes they are the equivalent of the Mugabe's, Gadaffi's and Saddam's of this world, the only difference is that they have a civil bureaucracy behind them where the three despots slaughtered their's. At this time in history we are so governed as we were centuries ago and hopefully in the future the governments of today will be dispensed with and a more fairer institution will be in place.

TheProgressiveLiberal Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Yes. Trump would be Mugabe or Saddam except for the state department bureaucracy stopping him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
